Visiting all the fixtures of fashionable 21st century queer society--picnics, literary readings, health conferences, drag shows, punk houses, community accountability processes, Grindr hookups--\u003ci\u003eThe Call-Out\u003c\/i\u003e also engages with pressing questions around economic precarity, sexual consent, racism in queer spaces, and feminist theory, in the service of asking what it takes to build, or destroy, a marginalized community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA novel written in verse, \u003ci\u003eThe Call-Out\u003c\/i\u003e recalls the Russian literary classic Eugene Onegin, but instead of 19th century Russian aristocrats crudely solved their disagreements with pistols, the participants in this rhyming drama have developed a more refined weapon, the online call-out, a cancel-culture staple. In this passionate tangle of modern relationships, where a barbed tweet can be as dangerous as the narrator's bon-mots, Cat Fitzpatrick has fashioned a modern novel of manners that gives readers access to a vibrant cultural underground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644212332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Cat Fitzpatrick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42353068998837,"sku":"9781644212332","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_233c3ea7-ef11-4660-ae01-36b80eb89190.jpg?v=1661843182","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-call-out-a-novel-in-rhyme-9781644212332","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
